On the heels of last week’s landmark announcement of Crystal AirCruises’ inaugural journey, Crystal revealed more of its 2017 and 2018 global itineraries for its privately owned Boeing 777-209LR, which are now open for booking.

The luxuriously appointed jet will transport travelers on all-inclusive journeys of 15 to 29 days, visiting the world’s most coveted destinations, both exotic and remote. Along the way, guests will enjoy five-star accommodations in each destination. Crystal AirCruises’ itineraries focus on luxury travelers’ interests, with options curated for culinary enthusiasts, history buffs, adrenaline seekers and exotic explorers. Guests will spend an average of 2 to 3 nights in each destination, staying at the finest hotels, resorts, safari lodges and eco-villages, chosen for their ideal location, luxury service and unique connection to the culture of the surrounding landscapes. The itineraries set for fall 2017, and spring and fall 2018 include:

“Crystal AirCruises will push the boundaries of what luxury travelers have traditionally thought possible within one vacation experience, as our guests will be able to span the globe in the course of a few weeks without sacrificing the ease and stylish comfort they expect from a Crystal vacation,” says Crystal CEO and president, Edie Rodriguez. “For instance, wine lovers need not choose just one exceptional winegrowing region, but can immerse themselves in several of the most acclaimed areas with the benefit of our luxury aircraft to whisk them easily to the next destination. Likewise, travelers need not limit their exploration of the world’s ancient icons due to distance, as Crystal AirCruises provides the ability to contextualize the history and significance of many in one vacation.”

Each innovative Crystal AirCruises itinerary is based on four curated all-inclusive destination experiences from which guests can choose, as well as mix and match to create their ideal vacation: “Exhilarating Adventures,” “Personal Connections,” “Cultural Discoveries,” and “Tantalizing Gastronomy.” For the ultimate custom Crystal AirCruises voyage, Crystal’s Designed by You option offers travelers the services of the Crystal AirCruises Director, the expert concierge who hosts the entire AirCruise and land experience, attending to guests’ individual needs and wishes throughout. Designed by You goes beyond the extensive selection of curated experiences, allowing guests to create unstructured programs customized to their wishes.

The luxuriously designed aircraft is larger and newer than any global jet tour travel option, appointed with features rarely found in even the most luxurious private jets. The Crystal Exclusive Class seats are designed for maximum personal space and ergonomic comfort, and convert to 180-degree lie-flat beds. The expansive social lounge with stand-up bar and dedicated table seating fosters friendly camaraderie among luxury travelers. Cuisine will be prepared by a dedicated executive chef in two state-of-the-art galleys and paired with an elegant premium wine list.

Guests will also enjoy comforts and conveniences including Bose® Noise Cancelling headphones, Apple® iPads, complimentary global WiFi, interactive TVs with on-demand programming and music library, individual USB ports and power outlets, and a live cockpit-to-ground listening channel. Additionally, spacious lavatories appointed with luxury amenities offer more than the comforts of home during the global journeys.

Booking reservations for Crystal AirCruises’ global itineraries for 2017 and 2018 are available for booking now. Aircraft operated for Crystal AirCruises by Comlux Aruba NV.
